Entry 5 : Honey roasted Almonds - By Pushpa Gadde
My entry for the contest is: Honey roasted Almonds.
It is a very healthy snack, very tasty to eat and most importantly, very easy to make.
The list ingredients needed to make this snack:
2 cups almonds
1/4 cup sugar( i used brown sugar)
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp honey(you can also add more, depending on your taste)
2 tbsp water
2 tsp oil
Procedure:
1. Roast the almonds either in an oven(at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes) or on a stove till they are light brown in color.
2. While they are roating, mix sugar and salt and spead half of it evenly on a tray.
3. Heat the oil in a pan and add the honey and water to it. When the liquid starts to boil add the roasted almonds and cook on slow flame till all the water is absorbed by the almonds. This takes about 5 minutes.
4. Transfer this into the tray and spread the almonds evenly so that all the almonds are evenly coated with the sugar and salt mixture. Sprinkle the remaining half of the salt and sugar mixture on the almonds and mix.
5. Let them cool down to room tempurature before transfering them to an air-tight container.
That is all..Enjoy this healthy snack either early in the morning or with a cup of coffee or tea in the evening.
Other versions:You can also substitute the Almonds with Pecans or Cashews or peanuts or any other dry fruit you have available in your kitchen.
